Darryl Ozias
Darryl Ozias

Darryl Ozias, who entered the day with a measly;y 9,000 and considered not even making the drive from Ames to come play today has been staying alive and made already made two pay jumps.

He moved all in preflop with his short stack and got called by both blinds. The board ran out {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} as the other two players checked it down.

Despite there being 4 hearts on board none of the three players possessed a heart and Ozais turned over the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} which was good enough to be the winner to give him a triple up and continue his survival.

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The board read {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts} Yao Yin moved all in and was snap called by Kevin Berthelsen.

Yin saw the bad news as Berthelsen turned over the {9-}{8-} for top straight. Yin did have outs those as he had the {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and could get the nut flush if a heart came on the end. But the river was a harmless {7-Diamonds} and Yin was gone in the blink of an eye.
